PDP National Chairman In Closed-Door Meeting With OBJ

Report reaching us confirms that the newly appointed National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Adamu Mu’azu, held a closed-door meeting with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, at his Abeokuta, Ogun State home.

The meeting was held as part of Mu’azu’s intention to reconcile aggrieved members of the ruling party, who expressed their grievances over the way and manner the immediate former Chairman of the party, Bamanga Tukur, handled the PDP. Tukur was eventually forced to resign few weeks ago.

In December 2013, the former President wrote a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan expressing his sadness over the way the latter was handling some national issues, including corruption. He also accused the President of having a killer-squad and placing 1000 Nigerians in a watch list.

Few weeks later, he wrote another letter to Tukur, explaining that he would no longer accept an alleged wanted criminal, Kashamu Buruji, to be his zonal leader of the PDP. In the said letter, Obasanjo noted that he was leaving the PDP for a while until the issues raised in his letter were addressed.
